Dubai-based Oilmar DMCC is recruiting bunker traders for its Seoul office as it looks to strengthen its trading activity in Northeast Asia.

The company is seeking both mid-level and senior candidates, with roles for traders responsible for originating, negotiating, and executing back-to-back marine fuel transactions, while developing and managing portfolios of shipowners, operators, charterers, and suppliers.

According to the job description, applicants with three to six years of experience are being considered for mid-level positions, while those with more than six years of industry experience are being sought for senior roles.

The positions carry direct revenue responsibility and require strong commercial judgement together with disciplined credit, risk and compliance awareness.

Successful candidates will be expected to execute physical bunker trades in high-sulphur fuel oil (HSFO), very-low-sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO), marine gas oil (MGO) and, where relevant, alternative marine fuels. Responsibilities also include negotiating pricing and commercial terms, monitoring market developments, and structuring transactions in line with company risk appetite and commercial objectives.

Oilmar said traders will manage the full transaction cycle, from enquiry and pricing through to nomination, delivery monitoring and post-fixture follow-up, while ensuring compliance with internal policies, sanctions rules and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements.

For the Seoul-based roles, Oilmar said knowledge of Korean ports and Northeast Asia markets is preferred, while Korean language proficiency is required.

A bachelor’s degree in business, maritime studies, economics, finance or a related field is listed as preferred. Candidates are also expected to demonstrate sales and negotiation capability, strong commercial awareness and the ability to perform under pressure in volatile markets.

The bunker firm said the package includes a competitive fixed salary based on experience, a performance-based incentive structure and progression opportunities across its regional office network.

Founded in 2015, Oilmar is a marine fuels trader that has also recently expanded into cargo and base oil trading. The company has offices in Greece, Singapore, South Korea, UAE, and UK.
